How Does Hypoxic-Ischemic Encephalopathy Affect Neurological Outcomes?
HIE occurs due to a lack of oxygen and blood flow to the brain around the time of birth. This condition can lead to severe brain injury, resulting in long-term outcomes like cerebral palsy, cognitive deficits, and epilepsy. Early diagnosis and intervention, such as therapeutic hypothermia, can help mitigate some of these adverse outcomes.
